Hello,

I referenced an include directory with in a SOURCES file like this:

INCLUDES= \
$(_PROJECTOAKROOT)\INC; \
C:\MyWince500_Drive\Path\Include

Now I moved the referenced directory to another drive and changed the
statement:

INCLUDES= \
$(_PROJECTOAKROOT)\INC; \
D:\Foo\Include

I checked that the path is correct. The files can be found there. But when I
start build in the directory with the SOURCES file, build.exe reports an
error:

Directory: \Foo\Include does not exist.

The drive letter is ignored/removed. Is there a known issue, that all
include directories specified in SOURCE must be at the same drive? Strange.

Helge:

I haven't tried this in a long time, but I know that the build system didn't
support crossing from one drive to another in the past. I don't know if
support for that was ever added.

The documentation for INCLUDES indicates that the paths should be relative.
Of course we know that using absolute paths works, but that may be a sign
that multiple drives isn't supported.
